So, how do they define a "bottom loading gun," can I just hold it sideways, cause that makes it a side loading gun. Would i need to move the sights?

With all this talk of bullet capacity, I'm thinking revolvers aren't safe for registration either. Hell, even with a 5-chamber gun, you could probably stack 4 or 5 bullets in each chamber...
